Changes in brain gene expression shared by scrapie and Alzheimer disease.

abstract：:In early stages of various pulmonary diseases, such as emphysema and fibrosis, the change in X-ray attenuation is not detectable with absorption-based radiography. To monitor the morphological changes that the alveoli network undergoes in the progression of these diseases, we propose using the dark-field signal, which...

Here, we probe the mechanisms that predispose ancient regulatory genes to reutilization and diversification rather than evolutionary loss.
